Article Wed: Managing Time When Working Online


Managing time efficiently when marketing on the internet is arguably the single biggest contributing factor for business success online. In addition to the myriad of responsibilities associated with an online business the internet also presents entrepreneurs with an ongoing atmosphere of change. This change in turn leads to new policies and techniques that need to be learned and addressed. When running a business these changes and challenges require the establishment and use of certain time management strategies. Of course the strategy you adopt needs to best fit your particular skills and preferences but some type of approach does need to be put in place.

Here are 3 time management strategies that you can choose from to help you efficiently tackle the different challenges that may face you on a daily basis. These strategies mainly address the best times to 'schedule' any routine, difficult or unfamiliar tasks or challenges as they arise.

Tackle New Challenges Immediately

As new 'challenges' arise or changes take place when is it best for you to tackle these issues? Are you more comfortable putting them off till later or perhaps you are one to dive right in.

When marketing on the internet you can easily, and should, develop a routine. By 'tackling' any new changes or additions to your workload at the beginning of your day you are fresh and likely at your best insofar as energy level and ability to focus. This could very well accelerate the speed with which you are able to complete these new responsibilities. This now leaves the rest of the day to complete tasks that are more routine and familiar to you.

Complete 'Routine' Tasks First

Another strategy you can use is to begin your day with the completion of any routine tasks that require completion first. Having these 'accomplishments' under your belt may leave you felling more relaxed and ready to devote time to new challenges. Time management strategies such as this rely upon a relaxed state of mind to help increase your focus. This results in you being able to 'master' anything new that much quicker.

First Determine Time Investment Required

Some people may prefer to address new or more difficult issues early on in their day to simply just get an understanding of what it involves and NOTHING more. After becoming familiar with what it will take to complete these tasks you can than 'schedule' them into your plans when it best suits you. The objective of this approach is to simply get an idea of the degree of difficulty and time investment that will be required first. With this knowledge plans can than be made to complete it in the future.

I use this particular strategy quite a bit myself since I like to know what I am getting involved in.

One of the biggest requirements for business success online is consistently managing time in an efficient manner. Marketing on the internet presents an ongoing atmosphere of change to entrepreneurs. These changes only increase the challenges people are faced with concerning their ability to effectively manage their time. The 3 time management strategies we discussed above serve as suggestions as to how to best approach your daily challenges both new and old. The approach you choose is dependent upon your personal preferences and skill set. In any case it will be necessary to establish some type of systematic approach that will allow you to smoothly operate and grow your online business.

Interview Friday with author Frances Pauli

Frances Pauli was born and raised in Washington State . She grew up with a love of reading and storytelling, and was introduced to Science Fiction and Fantasy at an early age through the books kept and read by her father. Though she always held aspirations to be a writer, she chose to obtain her Bachelor’s degree in visual arts. The stories, however, had other plans for her. By the time she entered her thirties, they were no longer content existing solely in her head. Compelled to free them, she set aside her easel and began to write in earnest. Her original love of Speculative fiction combined with her covert excursions into the Romance section led her into the realms of Urban Fantasy and Paranormal Romance, where she finds herself quite comfortable. Her fascination with Science Fiction and a growing passion for the NASA channel divert her happily into tales of the far future, alternate dimensions, and the wonders of space, usually with at least a touch of romance.

What is Your Writing Priority?

Every New Year, people sit down and write out their resolutions on the things they want to happen over the next year. The lists can be long or short, it doesn’t matter. We all have done it, but how often do you complete the goals listed? Rarely in my case; so I spent all of January doing more than just writing my New Year Resolutions, I spent time thinking about what I really wanted to see happen in 2015 and then took it a step further by listing ways to make those things happen. I also looked long and hard at the things I have been working on and doing. I evaluated each of them and the ones that weren’t taking me where I wanted to be I dropped off my list of things to work on in the New Year.  Once I was happy with the list I had, I began looking at my time and seeing if there was enough time in my week and daily to work on each item. In some cases…I didn’t. I was right back to reworking my list and making sure I was putting goals in the right priority. A few things at ...
